Forrest, Rebecca L.; Stokes, Donna W.; Burridge, Andrea B.; Voight, Carol D. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
Pretesting and early intervention measures to identify and remediate at-risk students were implemented in algebra-based introductory physics to help improve student success rates. Pretesting via a math and problem-solving diagnostic exam administered at the beginning of the course was employed to identify at-risk students based on their scores.…

Taplin, Ross; Kerr, Rosy; Brown, Alistair – Accounting Education, 2017
Student preferences for delivery options were obtained within a monetary framework by asking students to purchase their ideal course structure. Results show that accounting students prefer to spend more on tutorials but purchase less lecture time; the difference due to the higher cost of tutorials compared to lectures. Face-to-face classes were…
